The physical problem is that the component needs to be coupled as rigidly as possible to the suppport platform (limiting any micro-motion of the component) while at the same time any residual mechanical vibrational energy induced in the component needs to be absorbed. We have found that the best sonic results in improved resolution, image focus, transparency, bass quality, etc. results from using a combination of rigid coupling feet with more flexible and lossy energy-absorbing feet.

Recommended: Combine two Black Diamond Racing carbon fiber cones and one DH ceramic cone (large type). Additionally, place at least one Audio Prism iso-bearing and one sorbothane-type foot under the component near each of the rigid feet, in such a way that the component is still holding the rigid feet down.
